Atk'S Best Baked Potato
- 1/2 cup water
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Using a fork, poke six times to make holes into each large Russet potato.
- Combine salt and water. Roll each potato in liquid.
- Transfer potatoes to a wire rack on a baking pan. Place into oven.
- Bake in a preheated 450 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour. IMPORTANT: Internal temperature should be 205 degrees to be done.
- Test temperature into the end of the potato and see that there is no resistance. 205 to 212 degrees is the ideal range.
- Brush potatoes with 1 Tbsp. of vegetable oil and return to oven for 10 minutes to crisp skin.
- Cut an X in the top of the baked potato and using a dishtowel, squeeze potato at each end to open the X and let steam escape.
- Top with butter or whatever toppings you prefer.
- DO NOT LEAVE POTATOES UNCUT/SPLIT -- EAT IMMEDIATELY FOR THE BEST EXPERIENCE.
